The New York Times NSA exposure; a duty or betrayal? The ‘NSA’, or National Security Agency, is an American federal agency whose job is to observe, collect, protect, and expose the knowledge and understandings of foreign countries. They are restricted to only monitoring knowledge outside of the United States, and if they were to monitor a certain knowledge inside the United States, they would have to get a search warrant. After the attacks on the World Trade Centers on September 11th, 2001, the
Within the captivating exhibit, “RSVP”, stood out to me the most because of its uncommonness. The message that it gave off is unique and fascinating the way Senga Nengudi expressed the beauty of an African American woman, the embracing every curve, every mark, every bruise, along with every bend was intriguing. Normally, I would not have been able to observe and give a strong observation as I have done, but I was able to do so because of how interesting the piece was. Although
can come to mind when one thinks of “Americans.” Some may say that Americans are arrogant (insert choice of insulting curse name here), and others might say they are freedom fighters. Yes, sometimes people born in America sometimes happen to be arrogant and rude, however, Americans who fight for what’s believed to be right are freedom fighters, otherwise known as true Americans. People similar to Elizabeth Peratrovich and Martin Luther King, Jr. are true Americans. They not only fought for themselves
Adoption touches every heart upon the American society and culture. Adoption is one of the most controversial issues in the United States. One of the most contentious topics that will affect all member such as the birth parents, adoptees and adoptive parents by opening the adoption records to the adoptees.

dystopias are polar opposites, a utopia is the perfect place for anybody, but a dystopia is a hell for everybody. Utopias are often corrupted by a vicious leader or figurehead. The Ku Klux Klan is a band of members that believe that blacks and whites should be separated for a perfect society. Dystopias can feel like utopias because the people feel safe and secure, but they do not realize that they live in an imperfect

Every president makes an inaugural speech shortly after being elected. There are always many different topics depending on the events happening in America at that time. The speech is typically inspirational and the new president convinces you that he will be more honest and helpful than the former. All of this is true, but there is typically an important and meaningful theme. John F. Kennedy and Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered their inaugural addresses 28 years apart, but both speeches use rhetoric
A True American “The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.” Thucydides. Being an American is about more than the country we live in or the name that people call us. An American is someone brave and courageous fighting for freedom. Not everyone that can be defined as brave or free is an American and not every American shows these qualities, but when I have looked at the people in the United States I see people striving to hold up to views of others. It takes courage to
a male and female couple having an in depth conversation on rather to have an abortion or not. Specifically, the American in the story does not really care what way his girlfriend decides. Although he keeps on trying to persuade her into getting the abortion, he does not have a clue what she wants. As the author himself self puts it, “if you don’t want to you don’t have to.
